▶ Pull the safety trigger only when the fastening tool is pressed against the working
surface in such a way that the fastener guide is pushed into the tool as far as it will go.
▶ Always wear gloves if you have to carry out maintenance work on the fastening
tool while it is still hot.
▶ If fasteners are driven at a high rate or if the tool used for a long period, surfaces of
the tool beyond the grip areas may get hot. Wear protective gloves to avoid burning
injuries.
▶ If the fastening tool overheats, remove the gas can and allow the tool to cool down.
Do not exceed the specified maximum fastener driving rate.
▶ Driving fasteners may cause flying fragments or result in parts of the nail strip material
being forcibly ejected from the tool. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the
body and eyes. Wear eye protection, ear protection and a hard hat. Depending
on the application and type of fastening tool in use, wearing personal protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-slip safety footwear, hard hat and ear protection
reduces the risk of injury. Other persons in the vicinity must also wear eye protection
and a hard hat.
▶ Wear suitable ear protection ( see noise information in the technical data section).
Fasteners are driven through ignition of a gas/air mixture. The resulting noise exposure
may cause damage to the hearing. Other persons in the vicinity should also wear
suitable hearing protection.
▶ When driving a fastener, always hold the fastening tool securely and at right angles to
the supporting material. This helps to avoid deflection of the fastener by the supporting
material.
▶ Never drive a second fastener at the same location. This may lead to breakage or
jamming of fasteners.
▶ Always remove the gas can ( → page 9) and battery ( → page 9) and empty the
magazine ( → page 9) before changing the magazine or before cleaning, servicing
or maintenance work on the tool, before storage or transport and before leaving the
fastening tool unattended.
▶ To ensure that the fastening tool functions faultlessly and as intended, always check
the tool and accessories for possible damage before use. Check that moving parts
function faultlessly, without sticking, and that no parts are damaged. In order to
ensure faultless operation of the fastening tool, all parts must be fitted correctly and
must meet the necessary requirements. Damaged protective devices or other parts
must be properly repaired or replaced by Hilti Service unless otherwise stated in the
operating instructions.
▶ Have the fastening tool repaired only by trained and qualified specialists using genuine
Hilti spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the fastening tool is maintained.
▶ Tampering with or modification of the fastening tool is not permissible.
▶ Do not use the fastening tool where there is a risk of fire or explosion.
▶ Take influences of the surrounding area into account. Do not expose the fastening
tool to rain or snow and do not use it in damp or wet conditions.
▶ Use the fastening tool only in well-ventilated working areas.
▶ Select the correct combination of fastener guide and fastener. The wrong combination
may result in damage to the tool and in reduced fastening quality.
▶ Always observe the application guidelines → page 5.
Hazards presented by electricity
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area (e.g. using a metal detector) to
ensure that no concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes are present.
▶ Hold the fastening tool only by the insulated grip when working in areas where
fasteners may be driven inadvertently into concealed electric cables. Contact with a
